Help, I got home and my slow cooker was off.

I had put a frozen roast in it at 7.30am and got home at 5.30pm. The roast was still very cool to the touch and was in red wine. Is it still safe to cook???????????

Yes, cook it. And use the stove, dont cheat and use a crock pot. Cooking is the fun part.

No, use the stove top, and enough with the wine on the roast. Wine is for drinking while you cook.

Wine is only used to hide the fact that you can’t cook.

Season it, stuff with onions and bellpeppers, brown it(sear it) add water and simmer a couple3 hours. Drink the wine while u wait. Serve with white rice(has to be cooked too, no boil-in-bag rice, EVER!)and a vegtable.

But it already too late for that roast, the wine already ruined it, throw it away and start over. It wasnt the time sitting in the crockpot, it was that wine that you put it in that ruined it. Ha.

The worst incident in which I have seen, is a group of men who had hung an animal, which I had shot for them, hung it in a tree to keep it off the ground. It stayed there for 2 weeks, they returned cut off a hunk of meat off the hind quarters, cooked it on an open fire using an old plow disk for a grill, cooked it and they all ate. None sick. I didnt eat, I passed. Would not recomend that but for the day, no problem.

Libras are the romantic ones, that is what I was refering to when I said that. And yes I would like to come and cook it for you.
But regardless, give us an update on how you feel tomorrow. Julannhopkin seams to think otherwise and so you will have to say who had the correct answer.
And if you do get sick(which you won’t) I will go take care of you.

Actually not a doctor, actually don’t go to the dr. unless there is a bone sticking out of my skin. I have only been to the doctor for myself, once that I can recall, bone out the arm. Many stiches, but all taken care of by the vet, anything else treatur(witch dr.) has seen about.

I dont know why, it wasn’t naughty at all.
I would send you a shout if I wanted to be naughty. And if I did, it would be your fault for getting me all rawled up, hot like you are and all.
